adjournment
you moved your knight
outside your comfort zone
tempting my lady
to meet you halfway
your little entourage
failed to retool
as your ambitious attempts
proved to be futile
withdrawn into darkness
I tightened the noose
offering your freedom
with a false ransom
april two thousand thirteen

I caught this en passant so, as a pawn, I checked and came down from my ivory tower.
aah, nicely done
Excellent poem, I love the chess reference.
Thanks so much – I’m usually dominated when I play.
Very tricky! Love it!
Tricky indeed! Thank-you!
